Proceeding contribution from Owen Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 November 2011. It occurred during Urgent question on Border Control Scheme.


Border Control Scheme

The Minister keeps reassuring us that the system he has put in place is now safer, but UKBA staff are clearly not reassured of that, because one e-mail from them states:"““we are not allowed to physically see the passengers…we have no way of checking whether the handling agent information is correct or even if the number of people arriving…matches the number we have been advised.””" How, in that case, can the Minister tell us that he knows who is arriving and exactly how many people are on the incoming planes?
